The CWGC wrote to the families of all servicemen killed in WW1, but didn't write until about 1920 and only to the last known address. If the family had moved, they never got the letter. The letter asked them what information they would like recording, such as his home town, parents or wife's name. |

The wife remarried I have found the records both locally and nationally as she was actually the one directly related to me. |

How/where did you find the subsquent marriages of your soldier?Was it official or was it family knowledge--I've often wondered about the young widow of my great-uncle. Although there were so many young men killed that history tells us very many young women couldn't find a husband after the war,it still seems strange that she "disappeared" into thin air.I visited his memorial,I'd like to be able to 'visit' her too. |

I believe the families were asked to provide information after a mans death. If they chose not to, for whatever reason, then no details would appear on the CWGC site. |

Maybe his records were among those destroyed as his brother in law who died around the same time, although they were in different regiments, has all his details including parents, wife and where they both lived at the time of his death. |

I have found a relation on the CWGC site and they give no family details for him, wife or parents, I know he was married at the time, does this mean he did not tell them at the time of enlistment or would there be some other reason. |
